Analysis

Although Forest are predicted to beat Ipswich, Blackburn's forecast defeat at Brentford would see Blues safe regardless of the result at Ashton Gate.

If Harry Redknapp's side fail to win, both of their relegation rivals would need to take three points to condemn Birmingham to relegation.

A victory at Ashton Gate would see Blues safe regardless of other results.

How is it calculated?

The results are calculated using the "percentage likelihood of the match resulting in a 'home' win, a 'draw' or an 'away' win." The results are added to the current table to produce the final rankings.

The predictor correctly called Blues' win at home to Huddersfield and the defeat at Villa Park before that.
